RESULT OF DISSIPATION.

Several weeks ago q well dressed, nice
looking young man, accompanied by
negro servant, drove into the city be-
hind spirited pair of roadsters. The
Young man gave his name as Howard
Van der Cart, and stated that he came
from a certain well known city in ILL
nois, and was on his way to the DEVILS
Lake country. /. He stated that he had a
wife at the city he hailed from, and that
his parents were very wealthy. He had
started out with $500 in his pocket and
accompanied by the family servant, but
when Owatonna was reached he sent the
latter home, giving him 500, and hired
the one that came to Mankato with him
at $75 per month. When he reached
this city he was "dead broke" but put
up at one of our best hotels. He had
bottle of morphine with him and was 30
down-spirited that the proprietor of the
hotel concluded that he was about to
commit suicide and summoned the po-
lice late one night. Officer Kelly OBJ
tanned the bottle through strategy, after
considerable difficulty.
The day Burr Robbins circus was here,
Van der Cart INDUCED 30 freely in the
flowing bowl that he was completely in
toxicated. Having no money he tried
to pawn his elegant diamond mounted
gold watch to the bar tender. Failing
in this he left the room, but returned
within FIVE minutes with S. bill, for
which he had succeeded in pawning the
watch. He was in such condition that
he did not remember to whom he pawn
ed it and he has not been able to find it
since. The superstition is that some one
has stolen it. 1t was said to have been
worth $50. Van der Cart also pawned
an elegant ring to one of the circus
hands for 81, but, of course, has not seen
ring since.
The young man is 30 good natured
that he can be persuaded to give almost
anything away to a person whom he
considers as his friend. He has contin-
ued his libations to such shameful ex-
tent that he has twice been locked up
in the City Hall, but has been released
each time, no charge being brought
against HIM. The other night one of our
citizens, whose name is familiar to all,
attempted to play the private detective
act on Van der Cart, and pretended to
have come from Sioux City for the pur-
pose of shadowing him. He was sprawl
ed into the gutter for his pains.
Van der Cart still remains in the city,
keeping his team at livery stable and
driving out each day. He has discharg-
ed his servant. He telegraphed home
for money some time since but it does
not appear to be forthcoming very
promptly. His horses are gray in color
and one of them especially is fine ami

The Grand Army boys, who have
charge of the Sham battle at the State
Fair, say they win have 90, 700 people on
the grounds that day. The railroad
companies have ordered more tickets
and everywhere are evidences that the

Advertisers should bear IN mind
that the DAILY FREE Pass has double

while the circulation of the Weekly edi-
ton in the county exceeds that of any
Mankato paper. The Daily also has a
large circulation in the neighboring
places of Lake Crystal, Mapleton, Good

business men should ponder over these
facts and decide to put their advertise
ments where they viii do the most good,
viz, in the Daily and Weekly FREE

Mr.. John J. shanbnt died at about
three O'Clock Tuesday afternoon al

having come here with the Indian col.
ony thirty-one years ago. He was a
brother ofMr. Henry Shaubut, and at the
time OF his death was well TODD farm
er. lie leaves a wife and eight children.
Mr.. Sbaubut was born July q, 1878. in
Franklin county, Penn. In 1893 he
moved 10 Richland county, Ohio, with
his parents. Four years later he moved
to Wabash county, Ind, from whence
he came to Mankato in 1855, and enter
ed the mercantile business. He occu-
pied what was at that time one of the
largest stores in the city. in block IA. He
Immediately assumed a leading part in
the affairs of the city. He was mem
Der of the council when the city was or
ganized, and was member of the school
board when the Union school building
was erected. He was prominent in all
undertakings for the welfare of the city.
There are but few men whose death
will cause such universal sorrow in this
section of the State. Mr.. Shaubut had
hosts of friends throughout the State.
He was enjoying robust health, for one
Of his years, until the latter part of last
week, when he was taken with infam-
alton of the bowels, which termin-
ated fatally. Drs. Harrington and
Davis were called, but could not
avert the inevitable. But few knew of
Mr.. Shaubut's illness until the announce

The tax levy for next year will be
s., 200 less than that of this year. This
difference is accounted for by the facts
that the saloon license bring in about
$4,000 more than formerly and that
there will be no floating debt to be paid
next year, as Was the case at the begin
ming of this year, when over $lS, 900 was
outstanding. Thus another good effect
of high license is visible.
